Hyundai Motors said on Friday that it was in early discussions with Apple after a domestic broadcaster said the companies were talking about the electric car and the battery tie-up.

Apple was shifting forward in self-driving car technology, which could include its own breakthrough battery technology as early as 2024.

Hyundai said “Apple and Hyundai are in discussions but they are at an early stage and nothing has been decided”.

In a regulatory filing subsequently issued, the car manufacturer stated that it was “getting requests for cooperation on joint development of autonomous electric vehicles from various companies”, without identifying any of them. Apple refused to make a comment.

PARTNERSHIP

Apple and Hyundai already partnered together on CarPlay.

Jeong Yun-woo, a former designer at Hyundai, said “Apple outsourcing car production to Hyundai makes sense, because (the Korean firm) is known for quality”.

Analysts indicates that Apple may be interested in using Hyundai's electric car platform and facilities to reduce the costs of developing and constructing vehicles.

Hyundai Motor Company today revealed the first images of its all-new Tucson. New design highlights include the latest evolution of Hyundai’s signature headlamp architecture called ‘Parametric Hidden Lights’ and a dual-cockpit layout that offers personalized space intuitively optimized for high-tech user experience. The images hint at innovative features befitting Tucson’s signature boldness and pioneering spirit.

For its fourth generation, Hyundai took the all-new Tucson to the next level of automotive design, making it the first C-SUV in its class to be available in two different dimensions, while sharing the same name.

The all-new Tucson’s advanced exterior styling expresses what Hyundai designers call ‘Parametric Dynamics’ with kinetic jewel-like surface details that will have people doing a double-take. Parametric Hidden Lights provide a strong first impression. These signature DRLs (daytime running lights) are seamlessly integrated into the jewel-like grille, only revealed when turned on.

Overall, the new Tucson’s body is bigger and wider than previous-generation models, offering a long hood and short overhangs on a stretched wheelbase that gives it a slinky coupé-like character. From the side, angular body panels offer yet another interpretation of parametric design.

Chiseled surfaces create a striking contrast between sleek silhouette and masculine wedge, suggesting forward motion even when standing still. Taut athletic shapes seamlessly merge into angular wheel arches where alloy wheels provide a powerful and dynamic stance.

Tucson’s spacious interior, or INTERSPACE, is like entering a neatly organized room where everyday concerns disappear, not unlike the feeling of a modern boutique hotel where your comfort and convenience are the utmost priority. In the new Tucson, space, technology and information intersect harmoniously.

The all-new 2021 Hyundai Tucson will make its world premiere via an online live stream on Sept. 14 at 5:30 p.m. PT
